@klobrille If the game were better it wouldn't be a problem. Is Far Cry 4 all that expensive to get? Overwatch? A new indie like Song of Iron? Dying Light 1 as the 2 releases? Cmon now

No Clue what’s going on with my wifi at the moment - seems to be working normally (50mbs download), but whenever it go into a multiplayer game like overwatch or DBD, nothing seems to work (200 ping) @bt_uk only came out last week to fix an issue, so i don’t know what’s going on…

It's very easy to detect when an application is being imaged, at least on Windows. Overwatch detects this and issues a "screen-lock". Which just returns a black screen whenever any non-whitelisted application tries to image the client. Valorant detects this too.

@ursaltysupport @PlayOverwatch Yeah that’s the thing, Overwatch kinda had its time back in 2016 to let’s say 2018? That was the golden age of Overwatch, no problems and it was just at the top of being a really good FPS game. But I just hoping for 2023 to be better for the game.

@Qwik @AbsolutMoose @Blizzard_Ent Overwatch hasn't gotten a new hero in two years, and hasn't gotten a new map in three years, not to mention the countless balancing issues and game breaking bugs.

@GanymedePog Typically id actually disagree. I think Apex and Overwatch do phenomenal MMR systems. Those systems are subject to player population issues at odd times of day But otherwise theyre fairly concrete

@DyllonKG I'd argue that overwatch has some glaring issues in the mmr. I played a lot of support and I noticed that I climbed in rank much more based on eliminations than on support. For zenyatta or brig that's fine, they're meant to get kills, but mercy suffers massively

For two years straight, overwatch hasnt worked on my computer. After uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing, clearing caches. No fix. Found a random youtube video of someone who takes a dll file out of system 32 folder. IT WORKS. LIKE WHAT!?

@Angiedimal @Blizzard_Ent Long overdue like Overwatch 2. I want to add that the leaders should focus on the people and improve the working conditions and fix their law suits once and for all.

A little context. I'm playing role que and everything's going fine. Next thing I know, I'm lagging hard and I get disconnected. I finally get back into the game, and I get disconnected from the server AGAIN with a 20 minute ban from role queuing competitive. Wtf overwatch?

@OverwatchNaeri People need to understand that most if not all the problems OW has been going through, is due to Activision Blizzard, not the Overwatch dev team. Devs only have so much control, doesnt help that Act/Bliz has been tanking. Hopefully Microsoft can set it all straight
